About the author
Martin Handford
471 books109 followersMartin Handford, the man behind the mind-boggling Waldo books, began his career as a freelance illustrator specializing in drawing crowd scenes. The turning point came when he was asked to create a book showcasing his impressive talent, and the character Waldo was born—originally to provide a link between each scene. "I can't tell you how pleased I am that Waldo has taken on a life of his own," Martin Handford says. "I'd like to inspire children to open their minds to explore subjects more, to be aware of what's going on around them. I'd like them to see wonder in places that may not have occurred to them." Martin Handford lives in England.

In the latest Where’s Wally? book the illustrations are dark and are printed on a special plastic so that you have to use the spotlight wand to find the characters, including Wally.
The book consists of six different illustrations that you need to use the wand for (located inside the front cover). You need to find the items that are written on the left-hand side of the double-page. As well as a checklist there are also tasks such as ‘find the skull that isn’t repeated’ or ‘find which snake will get you out of the maze’.
The spotlight wand has two ends that you can use, a wide spotlight or a narrow spotlight if you want to make your search more difficult.
The book is a lot of fun and having the wand made searching for Wally and his friends all the more exciting, though with it only being six different illustrations there isn’t a great deal to find so it is a quick book but I’m sure kids will love going over illustrations finding people more than once.
Overall, good fun for children and Where’s Wally? lovers especially at this time of year.

This book has completely revolutionised the Where's Wally experience - what a great idea! The idea behind Where's Wally isn't anything new, but the introduction of a spotlight searcher you can slip between the pages to light up the previously obscured images adds so much fun to the spooky-themed scenes.
My only complaint with this book is that each page is very similar - I know this is the case for most Where's Wally books, but still I feel that even changing the layout of each page would have been interesting.
Regardless, a really great spin on the typical approach that kids will love this Halloween season.
